About UCLA’s Jabber system
We are running an XMPP server (Jabber is the colloquial name — but since Cisco bought the co many by the same name things have become muddied). Our service is only open to UCLA Logon ID account holders.

The software we are using (ejabberd) is simple to set up and runs with virtually no interaction.

May 25, 2017 confirmed that Jabber still available on campus.
